If any topic is hot in combat sports right now, it’s the whole MMA fighter versus boxer debate that was ignited by Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather. A bunch of fighters on both sides have called out guys from the other, yet none of these fights are anywhere near happening. Or are they?
One of the UFC fighters that asked for a shot at a boxer was top light heavyweight Jimi Manuwa. The English slugger picked up a one-punch KO victory over Corey Anderson in London earlier this year, and in his post-fight interview, he called for a fight with fellow Brit and former champion at cruiserweight and heavyweight, David Haye.
